Rosie O'Donnell Leaving "The View"

After causing controversy after controversy on ABC's "The View" for less than a year, Rosie O'Donnell has decided to not renew her contract with the show. That means, she'll be leaving in June. O'Donnell and ABC could not agree on a contract. She wanted one year, ABC wanted to lock her in for three.

"It just didn't work," O'Donnell said on the show Wednesday, "and that's show biz. But it's not sad because I loved it here and I love you guys and I'm not going away."

O'Donnell says she will appeared on The View occassionally next season. ABC was hoping to tie her down so she wouldn't leave and become competition. Rumor has it Rosie may be shopping around for her own daytime show again.
O'Donnell earned $3 million dollars for her short gig on the show. She also caused all sorts of controversy, getting into a heated feud with billionaire Donald Trump. She was also said to not get along with Barbara Walters and executive producer Bill Getty.
